Let's start with a holiday card.
Because it's never too early for Christmas
At least in my house...

I always thought it'd be fun to hang the lantern from Festive Foliage.
The lantern is embossed and I tied a little ribbon on top.

For this next one, I opted to use the flower from Vintage Seed Packet set.
I stamped my favorite pattern from Pic-nic Patterns in white.
Very subtle but it gets the point across.
The sentiment comes from Say It Loud.

There's a little bit of perfect pearls but it's hard to tell in the photo.
Did you think I could leave out some of that stuff? ;-)

Oh LOVE the lantern on the Festive Foliage branch! It's soooo perfect, Belinda! This would make such an awesome Christmas card for sending out to lots of friends. Mmm and Perfect Pearls with that carnation, sparkly delicious!

Thanks for showing us that the seed stamps are not just for gardening projects & that the lantern makes a good Christmas card. This really shows the versatility & value for money of these gorgeous stamp designs. x

Your projects are so clean, simple and yet so elegant. Love the lantern with the branch ... this would be a great Christmas card or even a birthday card for someone who has a December birthday! Thanks for sharing.

You must have been reading my mind for the 1st card as this is how I envisaged the lantern - hanging from the festive foliage (probably because I have that set). The second card makes me swoon too love the soft palette you used.
